Gameplay details

SAFETY: (If you aren't familiar with these, don't worry, I will walk you through them) Hybrid Lines & Veils / Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist: Before we meet, you'll complete a survey that outlines things you hope to get out of our game and things that you'd rather avoid. Session 0: Our first session (free of charge) where we get on the same page, set expectations, ask questions, do a tech run (D&D Beyond, Foundry, Discord), build characters, and play a prologue. Breaks: When we're playing, if you need a moment for any reason, you can say 'Pause.' We'll break for ~5 minutes (if everyone is back before 5 minutes, we'll resume); if you need longer, please let me know. Please feel free to contact me individually if you'd like to discuss anything. Stars & Wishes: After each session, we'll spend a few minutes discussing the adventure to make sure we do more of what we're enjoying and less of what we're not.
